Have your say: Managing extremely preterm birth at 22-25 weeks’ gestation

To help give babies born extremely early the best chance of surviving, we have developed evidence-based clinical guidance to manage pregnant women and their babies.

Babies born between 22+0 to 24+6 weeks’ gestation require intensive support for months after birth and those who survive are at risk of disabilities including problems with walking, talking, thinking, seeing and hearing. 

How we manage at-risk women and extremely preterm babies varies across the state, as do outcomes for these babies.
